because the Mayans bro,

they were like able to predict solar events

and therefore should be viewed as mystics and enlightened beings who were liek totally in touch with the universe

and stuff

Now you reminded me of Indy and his Crystal Skull..

FUCK

I never saw that one. I heard it was garbage.

It is. As far as Indiana Jones atmosphere goes and all. If you don't know/care about Indy series you might like it.

The zeitgeisters have a different take on 2012 . Combining the nonsense of the Mayan calendar and the silliness of Novelty Theory they believe that the cosmos will align in such a way that there will be an instantaneous lifting of mankinds consciousness and we will all be filled with love and peace will rule the planet .

It's their hope that this will usher in the era of the Venus Project .

Venus Project sounds like a good name for a porn flick.

I might be on something here...

There's supposed to be some planetary alignment thing that's actually happening which feeds into the whole thing, but it's still kinda gay imo.

Still very much unrelated to the Mayans, whose calendar probably doesn't end for another 200 years or so, and even then the 'end' doesn't matter any more than the 'end' of the Gregorian calendar on the 31st.

Did you have a point to back up your ridiculous laughter? Francis Crick was high on LSD when he and James Watson discovered DNA. It's a well documented concept that hallucinogenic experiences are often accompanied by revelation. In this case, a highly important revelation which contained the building blocks of life. You're so quick to judge. Everything in life can be both good and bad, depending on the context, this is also true of drugs. Especially with a country that runs on drugs and chemicals, very unhealthy drugs and chemicals at that such as caffeine, acetaminophen, fluoride and so on, I would think this concept could be appreciated by now.



I don't believe anybody was saying it's going to be the end of the world. I don't think the Mayans are the only piece to it either. But to answer your question somewhat, the Mayans were a very highly sophisticated culture in terms of astrology and mathematics. Even for our standards their accomplishments were great.

It's not the end of the world, it is the end of the calender.
The Mayans have the most accurate calender ever created.

They are the greatest civilization that has ever lived.
